cyberdrive Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hiya! Since my Nvidia 7900 GTO / 512MB seems to refuse working with iPhoto & Aperture any more i found out that QE/CI is not working right now. Can you help me out with an installation - tutorial? That would be perfect (Quartz Extreme checker: Display 1: No acceleration) Thx in advance Cyber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 i wonder why the 7900 wont work, my 7200GT works just fine with those apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then it won´t work any more with - tried with different methods which boot-loader do you use? i do use the first one of iAtkos. when it worked i used chameleon RC5.

dothacker Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 forget the graphics enabler. use the EFI string --> DVI/VGA in the Video driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdrive Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 forget the graphics enabler. use the EFI string --> DVI/VGA in the Video driver. DVI / DVI in my place i guess. No further graphics option to select and it should work? i will give it a try - another fresh install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdrive Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Thx for your help so far but unfortunately nothing changed after reinstalling iAtkos Display: Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0291 Revision ID: 0x00a1 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1024 x 768 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Any other ideas left? When installing Natit i get the info of a 7900GT /512MB but Aperture still shows the message of "minimum requirements" Now i installed the 3 nvidia kexts for my 7900 GTO GeForce 7900 GT: Chipset Model: GeForce 7900 GT Type: GPU Bus: PCIe PCIe Lane Width: x16 VRAM (Total): 512 MB Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0291 Revision ID: 0x00a1 ROM Revision: Silent Natit x86_64 v1.0.2 Displays: 199C : Resolution: 1280 x 1024 Pixel Depth: 32-Bit Color (ARGB8888) Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Display Connector: Status: No Display Connected Still the same Error-Message in Aperture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdrive Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 I just found out that QE/CI isn´t working. (updated topic) Maybe someone knows how to get it up and running for my 7900 GTO THX!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fredi Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Hi cyberdrive, make a new install in bootloader options u must activate Graphics Enebler - thats all - no kext needed ( in driver ). on first boot u see the Welcome Animation - all is done. sorry for my bad english - cu 2fredi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdrive Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 Thx for your hint 2fred, i tried that and unfortunately i do have only one possible resolution and the card isn´t detected correctly Only GPU / 512MB detected. Thx so far for your help! Cyber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2fredi Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 @cyberdrive have u seen the apple-welcome-introduction at the first start ? if yes - all is done ( QE/CI is working with ur card ) Install aperture - without QE no chance !!! 2fredi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberdrive Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 Yes, i saw that Intro and i can work / install in OS X, but Aperture keeps telling me that i don´t met the minimal requirements... The point is, that i got it working already (without NATIT & co) once about 2 weeks ago. Since reinstall the 7900 wouldn´t work at full performance. Thx Cyber PS: If it´s easier for you in german - PM would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberdrive Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Installed newly yesterday - still the same. The point about support is, that i got it working once. I do have a screenshot of the system-profiler too and with working Aperture. But after about 4 weeks now of playing around i am going to buy a supported gfx-card like the Gigabyte GTS 250. Thanks very much for your help! Cyber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushishi Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 biker-flat there is no Enable QE/CI in osx86tools... there is a enable quatzgl witch is not the same. Cyberdrive how do you write the Graphics Enabler... It have to be GraphicsEnabler=Yes and you might have to add PCIRoot=1 also so first try: at bootloader write: GraphicsEnabler=Y if that dont give you full res and QE/CI, then reboot and write: GraphicsEnabler=Y PCIRoot=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Try booting your Dell hackintosh in 64-bit mode, you'll lose QE/CI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 lol but i dont have a 7900 GTO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 No, but you have a 7200 GS. There is no 64-bit driver support for Geforce 7xxx series since 10.6.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 No, but you have a 7200 GS. it works using the graphics enabler so i'm not going to mess with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 If you are still curious about this, don't worry about breaking anything, QE/CI (and whatever else breaks ) will come right back just like it was when you boot in 32-bit mode again. Well...according to my own personal experience anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
